Default Auto-expand to folder

I'm curious if there's any way to configure a folder comparison session so that it auto-expands to a subfolder within the base folder.

For example:
Base folder = /Clients/ACME/Website/
Auto-expand = /Clients/ACME/Website/files/includes/

My reasoning behind this is that I always want the Website folder at the base because I sometimes work with other folders under /Website/, but most often I want to jump directly into the /includes/ folder.

I know I can set up a separate session just for this, but that would be painful because I have over 20 different "Client" profiles already and don't want to have to set this up for each one.

Any help would be appreciated!!

Default

Hello,

One method I'd suggest for this is to set a File Name filter for the folder and save the session with that filter as the set default. Then lock the session so when you use the dropdown to switch to "*.*", it is not saved.

". \Clients\ACME\Website\files\includes\;-.\*.*"

You can right click the folder (includes), and Exclude it. Then change the filter to include it by removing the "-" at the front.
